BUSINESS VALUATION
A company's value is derived from its future benefits. Since companies have different risks and earnings characteristics, and owners' goals and expectations vary, no single formula can be used to determine the value of every company in every situation. Therefore, different approaches and methods have evolved for estimating future benefits and companies' values.
While there are three general approaches to valuing a business (income, market and asset-based), there are multiple methods for each of these 3 general approaches. Whenever possible, it is our philosophy to use at least 3 different valuation methods to determine the value of an enterprise. This redundancy enables verification of the conclusion and helps to eliminate litigation and other protracted costs.
Beyond the theory behind business valuations, members of the S&Co team have actually bought and sold businesses. Thanks to its participation in the purchase or sale of hundreds of businesses, the Schulte & Company team is a savvy and street-wise resource for your valuation needs.
